Listening to these songs at this remove, I'm not sure if The Hollies put these romantic notions in my young head, or they were simply articulating feelings I could not yet name. Sadly, I have not moved far beyond this type of explication of the rough water between men and women

It's like when I rode "It's a Small World" at Disneyland and sort-of-complained that it was just recycled from the World's Fair as the Pepsi Pavilion. Years later I found out it had been built for the World's Fair with the intention of installing it permanently at Disneyland.

Just like Freedomland was revealed years later to have been intentionally built as a place holder for Co-Op City. Or so the developer said.

@wmfromdumont - according to Nash here, they attempted Marrakesh: people.com...

Bob Brainen:

Yeah Joe, Nash got cred finally but his songs are really not much different than his Hollies songs. It's all an illusion.

Lots of Mono-ness today. Excellent!

I wish we had MONO for all the singles up to 67! There's a comp we need: Hollies In Mono.

There needs to be a Beatles Anthology type thing with The Hollies

It's a trick to make perfect art, but I think The Hollies pulled it. Thanks guys, you are kind and knowing teachers.

Great show! Just finished listening for a second time. It really helped me to develop a proper appreciation for the Hollies. Some time back, when I was channel surfing, I saw the current lineup on one of the PBS pledge shows and didn’t watch (some times those shows are kind of depressing, seeing all of those people my age in the audience - ha!). Now I’m kicking myself for missing it.

Thank You Bob Brainen & Pete Tomlinson !
*Always* been on the Hollies love bus - but not always known that any specific other people were too !
This episode can serve as a Reference. Like your Brian Jones episode - such an organized exposition underscores the Greatness. (I would presume Andrew Sandoval has featured them @ some point? & Todd-o-phonic Todd had an interview episode with Bobby Elliot that should not be missed not too long ago...)
